Baseball has about six opening days, depending upon what you consider worth mentioning. From the first day of any games, to the first day of Cubs spring games, to late March into April, quite a few could be considered “Opening Day.” For me, Thursday was a “hit refresh” day, as any trade, signing, or waiver claim was news. By Friday, games were being played, and streamed.
My Friday morning started with the Maryland Terrapins opposing the Campbell Camels. I expected Seth Johnson to start for Campbell. He didn’t. Campbell’s Matt Barefoot was the MVP in the Cape Cod League last summer, winning the batting title, as well.
